Top 5 apps every plumber needs
Apps every plumber should have in their toolbox
We live in a smartphone world. Smartphones and tablets have been around for less than a decade, yet with every day that passes, more and more users wonder what they ever did without the hand-held gadgets.
Believe it or not, they aren’t just for playing Angry Birds and Candy Crush, tracking your local pro sports team, seeing what friends and family are up to on Facebook, or tweeting your opinion on the latest political debacle.
Even with the amount of time spent on social media and playing games, the world has never been more productive than ever before.
As any smartphone user already knows, and the growing number of converts are about to find out, there are a nearly infinite number of apps out there — tiny, dedicated programs that can fetch your email, manage your grocery list, connect you to online banking, even help you keep a diary of your favorite beers. And that’s just the beginning.
Now that mobile technology is firmly finding its place in the Plumbing industry, what other apps can landscaping experts add to their smartphones and tablets?
